There in the garden long forgotten A Well
almost hidden by Weeds and a thorn bushes
it’s mystery unknown for many generations
while exploring the vastly overgrown area
the new House owners were very surprised
with this find were completely mesmerized!
An unexpected find they said trying hard
to see this Well that had been neglected
so they began to clear the weeds away
a task that took the afternoon to see
what it looked like they were excited
what a find both felt so delighted!
Soon The Well was cleared of any rubbish
a thatched roof with a bolted wood cover
it was made of rock stone blocks
even had a rope wound around with a handle
and a bucket yet there was an uneasy feeling
as they Stood back yet it was appealing!
It was then they smelt a strong odor
sound of tapping coming from the lid
they stood perplexed at this occurrence
moving backwards as it continued on
then the lid began to loudly vibrate
making them tremble in a terrible state!
Realizing the lock had become unattached
also hearing a voice pleading for help
they retreated backwards into their house
wishing now they had left The Well alone
next they heard a wailing female voice
there was nowhere to go had no choice!
The lid flew off and the cry got louder
made them hold their ears to block the noise
not knowing what to do held onto each other
focused on The Well saw a bony hand
slide out and was gripping the rim tightly
as a grotesque shape rose so unsightly!
Forcing themselves back they turned and ran
out into a quiet country lane in panic
shivering unsure of which way to run
when an unseen force drew them back in
in a trance went in nobody else was around
the figure stood now making no sound!
When friends could not contact the couple
called in certain that something was wrong
the house was unlocked so could enter
but there was no sign of them at all
looking outside could see The old Well
all seemed fine as far as they could tell!
An investigation was convened nothing found
but nobody checked The Well upon the ground!
